October 27, 2008 - Starting today, over 1,000 schools nationwide - and nearly 500,000 students - will be scouring their homes and neighborhoods for idle pennies. From now until Thanksgiving, students will go door-to-door with their parents asking neighbors to help them better their communities by donating spare change.
During the next four weeks, millions of pennies will be collected by Penny Harvesters, and thousands of Penny Harvesters will connect with their communities.

Four-year-old Declan Inderbitzen's daddy won't be back from Iraq until next April, but thanks to some students from Canyon Creek Elementary School in the Cherry Creek School District, he has a reminder of his dad that he can hug, squeeze and take to bed.
Through the Penny Harvest project, Canyon Creek students collected $1,250 worth of pennies, said Emily Gay, a Canyon Creek teacher who helped organize the project. "Penny Harvest shows students they have the ability to make the world a better place by introducing them to the power of philanthropy and service."

She was so impressed with their leadership that she made them the school’s first student counsel.
